Last year the participant successfully completed a 5 month long 'Modern Languages in Primary School' (MLPS) training programme provided by Glasgow City Council. She is now qualified to teach French to Primary School children and has begun to do so within her own class. She is keen to develop her new skill set and has identified the project as being one which would develop her language competency and confidence, particularly with regards to spoken French/accent, through practical experience. In addition, a better understanding of modern French culture would help to make lessons more relevant, giving children a greater insight into European culture. From a comparative point of view, the participant would also benefit from exposure to the French education system and the methodologies used therein. The ideas, good practice and materials provided throughout the project would be used to enhance the participant's own teaching, and would be shared/modelled/stored centrally to enhance the provision of French more generally throughout the school. The participant currently teaches in the lower school where a more coherent approach to the teaching of French is being piloted. Stage-appropriate songs, films, books and games bought/accessed during the project will enhance this programme. The participant would liaise with other teachers, before and after the course, to review the approach, content and resourcing of the French programme and to ensure quality and consistency. The participant would also seek out opportunities to share/moderate practice at a regional 'cluster group' level. The participant is willing to run a French club in school to provide children with additional opportunity to enhance their language skills and their awareness of cultural similarities/differences between France and Scotland. She has recently undertaken an Italian course enabling her to teach Italian in Primary Schools, and would incorporate this into the club to increase children's exposure to different languages and to further promote the importance of communication within the European Union, and beyond. Once established, consideration would be given to the possibility of establishing and maintaining a relationship with a school in France.
